TIME IS RUNNING OUT: Register Now to Learn How to Maintain EMS Dominance at the EW Combat Systems Life Cycle Management Conference, July 17-19
Today’s EW combat systems are expensive and likely to remain in the DoD’s inventory longer as downturned budgets struggle to procure replacement systems. To ensure these systems remain effective, both performance insertion and cost reduction will be critically important to EW’s future. This conference will discuss in depth how all the Services and other DoD agencies insert performance enhancements into legacy systems. We will discuss cost reduction concepts including combat systems integration, and use, as a case study, the Navy’s new product-line approach to improve the vertical integration of its EW systems. Specific Topics Include:
- Industry support to EW sustainment
- EW sustainment for Navy Crane Maritime, Air Force, Navy Aviation
- Dahlgren working capital fund for equipment sustainment
- Real time spectrum operations and operational testing
- Framework for assessing cost and technology (FACT)
- Next generation submarine EW system architecture
- DoD strategies to decouple EMS/EW combat systems from platforms
- Combat systems spiral development/Aegis combat systems baseline (ACB)
- Government and industrial training to sustain EW systems
- Commercial life cycle electronics education
